Victory for the NSST they now have sufficient OTO to equip entire squads with Orange Transparent Weapons.

Excellent battle report with some very nice shots there; I might suggest, since the armies don't seem to be wholly uniform, that you intersperse a couple more "Overwatch" shots throughout the report so that the reader has a fuller sense of what's going on throughout and which team is doing what.
